Colour PPF, in short.
Colour PPF (colour change paint protection film) is a thick, self-healing urethane film with the colour built in. It changes the colour of your car and protects the paint from stone chips, scratches and sun at the same time, and it can be removed later to bring back the original colour. At Apex Detail Studio in Al Quoz, Dubai, we fit full-body colour PPF in gloss, satin and matte finishes, from AED 15,000 before 5% VAT.

Paint changes it. Film protects it.
A respray replaces your factory paint for good, takes the car off the road for weeks and is the first thing a buyer asks about. A thin vinyl wrap changes the look but does little against chips. Colour PPF does both jobs: new colour on top, original paint safe underneath.

How a colour change is done.
A colour change looks factory only when the prep, the cutting and the edges are right. This is how we do every car.
Every panel is washed, decontaminated and inspected under strong light, and any marks are corrected, because film seals in whatever is underneath it.
Film is cut on our plotter from patterns for your exact car, then laid out and checked panel by panel before it touches the paint.
Each panel is fitted by hand and the edges are wrapped into the gaps, recesses and intakes, so no original colour shows.
The car rests while the film settles, then every edge is checked again under several light sources before handover.
Real cars, real colours.

Straight answers to what owners ask us about colour PPF in Dubai.
The final price depends on the car, the finish and options such as door shuts. Send your car and the colour you have in mind.
What is colour PPF?
Colour PPF (colour change paint protection film) is a thick, self-healing urethane film with the colour built in. It changes the colour of your car and protects the paint from stone chips, scratches and sun at the same time. It sits on top of the factory paint and can be removed later.
How much does colour PPF cost in Dubai?
Colour PPF at Apex Detail Studio starts from AED 15,000 before 5% VAT. The final price depends on the size of the car, the finish and options such as door shuts. Send your car and the colour you want on WhatsApp to +971 58 549 2739 for a quote.
Do I need RTA approval to change my car colour in Dubai?
A colour change has to be updated with the RTA so your registration matches your car. At Apex Detail Studio we take care of the RTA colour change application for you as part of the job.
Where can I get colour PPF in Dubai?
At Apex Detail Studio, 6A Street, Al Quoz Industrial 3, Dubai. We are open Saturday to Thursday, 10am to 7pm, and closed on Friday. WhatsApp +971 58 549 2739 with your car and the colour you have in mind.
Is colour PPF better than a vinyl wrap?
For a car you want to keep, yes. A vinyl wrap mainly changes the look, while colour PPF is thicker, self-healing and protects the paint from stone chips as well as changing the colour. More in our colour PPF vs vinyl wrap guide.
Is colour PPF better than a respray?
A respray replaces your factory paint for good and cannot be undone, and buyers often ask why a car was painted. Colour PPF changes the colour while keeping the original paint protected underneath, and it can be removed later. More in our guide to a full colour change respray.
Does colour PPF damage the original paint?
No. Fitted on healthy factory paint, the film protects it while the colour change is on, and it can be removed without harming the paint underneath.
Can colour PPF be removed?
Yes. The film can be removed at the studio to bring back the original colour, for example before you sell the car or when you want a different look.
Which colours and finishes can I choose?
Gloss, satin and matte colours, from blacks, greys and Nardo Grey to greens, blues, purples and specials. Our Apex Chroma range has 187 colours, and we can also fit satin or matte clear film over your existing colour.
Are the door shuts done in the new colour?
Door shuts and inner edges can be included so no original colour shows when the doors open. Ask for them when you request your quote.
How long does a colour change take?
Usually several days, depending on the car and the level of detail, such as door shuts. The team confirms timing with your quote.
Does colour PPF protect against stone chips?
Yes. It is a thick urethane film, so it takes stone chips, road rash and light scratches that would otherwise mark the paint, and its self-healing top coat lets fine marks fade with heat.
Can you colour change a Tesla Cybertruck?
Yes. We have changed Cybertrucks from raw stainless steel to brown, green, gloss black and satin black with film, which also protects the steel from marks and fingerprints.
Does colour PPF affect resale value?
The factory paint stays underneath, protected from chips and sun, and the film can be removed before sale, so the next owner gets the original colour in good condition.
How do I look after colour PPF?
Wait about a week before the first wash, hand wash with a pH neutral shampoo, avoid brush car washes and keep pressure washer nozzles away from the edges. On satin and matte film, never use wax or polish.
